Q1: Is it actually true that it's too hard to search using a smartphone? My second followup question depends on the answer of the above: Q2: If it's too difficult to search with a smartphone, what can we do to make it easier? or Q2: If it's just a "different" use model, then what hints should we put here to point future smart phone users to for efficiently searches? PS: As an aside, we should probably also list the most recommended smart phone applications for use on Bimmerfest. I'll open a separate thread on that topic. EDIT: Thread opened: > E39 (1997 - 2003) > What smart phone applications should we recommend for efficient E39 searches?

Never had any issues on my android phone, and I'm constantly searching on my phone from work. Also that is searching as a guest, because i hadn't gotten around to joining until yesterday.

A relatively new search capability in Firefox is to right click on any photograph which will find all other instances of that photograph on the net in a split second.

I just belatedly realized that the Chrome browser has a NICE FEATURE that is useful when running the typical control-F keyword search in the best links.
Firefox will step from keyword to the next keyword when you press F3 (or back when you press shift+F3), but Firefox won't tell you where you are on the sequence. Chrome will visibly count down (1 of 15, 2 of 15, 3 of 15, ... 15 of 15) as you press the down arror, or press the F3 key (and count up as you press the up arrow or shift+F3) - and Chrome will color-code the results (shown here for the keyword "trifecta"). This counting-sequence & color coding & arrow buttons are nice keyword-search features that I don't think Firefox has. Using this Chrome counting procedure, you can easily tell which is the latest keyword-rich line as you seek the best articles to read. EDIT: There is this one minor problem with Chrome ... that I hope other Chrome users can help me with: > E39 (1997 - 2003) > How can I get Chrome to paste links from the E39 bestlinks the same way Firefox does?

I've been reading this forum for a couple months now and have used it to: found a PDF of Bentley repair manual Vol 1; swapped out hood & trunk emblems; restored headlight lens'; changed the oil, oil filter; flushed power steering & replaced PS reservoir; reset my 'service engine soon' light by unplugging the battery; reset the oil service bars using a paperclip; cleaned the MAF. But it all started when my windshield wipers stopped working in a rain storm. I didn't know what to do. I had my iPhone, found this forum, started reading like a coked up phonix monkey and found a 'wiper relay' potential fix. Using this forum I was able to pop the hood, pull sh*t out, cleaned the wiper relay and got the wipers to work. My GF thinks I'm MacGuyver now.
I'm going to:drain and fill the automatic transmission; install aux output for an MP3 player; and currently trying to figure out an option for my daytime running lights - either have dealer turn them off, replace the current 9005 bulb w/ a cheap blue/white bulb, or go LED w/ resistors (it's just the DRL and highbeam to pass lights so not terribly important to me at this time). My point to all of this is I F*CKING LOVE ALL OF YOU WHO CONTRIBUTE. You guys would feel like proud parents watching me fumble bumble and stumble my way (thru your guidance via this forum) to 'successful' DIY car jobs. Thank you thank you thank you. Bluebee, my local Stealership Kuni BMW is probably trying to hunt you down at this very moment for all the money you've cost them by helping me
